ecotourism

tourism which is designed to contribute to the protection of the environment or at least minimize damage to it, often involving travel to areas of natural interest in developing countries or participation in environmental projects

If the aggressive promotion of environmental tourism does not destroy the natural ecosystems, chances are that the revenue generated from tourism may be used in development projects that will finish the job.

As for the Ministry of Tourism's future plans to bolster the tourism sector at the local scene, the Minister said that he was looking forward to activate rural, religious, health, and environmental tourism, hoping it would stand at a lower cost for foreign tourists.

This aims to achieving a strategic partnership of common interests through cooperation in the fields of exchange of experience, planning for tourist destinations and tourism purposes, for the development and preservation of heritage villages, the revitalization of environmental tourism and urging investors to do joint investment and tourism projects.

They stressed the need to set up a regional centre to encourage higher education graduates among young women to set up ventures in the sector of tourism and develop natural and archaeological sites for the benefit of local cultural and environmental tourism.

He added that it aims at highlighting the value of the site and spreading knowledge about it in addition to shedding light on the experience of mud architecture and marketing the environmental tourism in Syria.
